Inspired by a resurrected style from the Flemish region of Belgium, The Meddler Oud Bruin is a blend of several generations of brown ales that were barrel aged for over 18 months. Wild yeasts, Lactobacillus, and Brettanomyces meddle with the beer creating complexity and depth of flavor. Intricate, yet balanced, The Meddler has an 8.9% ABV.

Pours a rich dark brown with some deep red notes from a bottle. Rich winey aroma, mixed with oak, toffee, a little coffee? Flavor adds a leatheriness almost like Worcestershire sauce but more in quality than actual flavor. Pretty good beer.

Aroma is the best part here, with fruit caramel malt vinegar yeast. Appearances average with a small short-lived can head no lace and very dark Garnet. Flavor is a little bit like nose but mainly just sour. Long tart finish.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small white head. Aroma brings out Worcestershire sauce, balsamic, acidity and wood. Flavour brings out lots of tannins and red wine barrels, followed by some balsamic, a touch of sweetness and light acidity. Very tannic and earthy. Unusual and doesn't really come together.
